Ranma the raging feminist?

Postby Tuisto » Thu Mar 19, 2009 8:44 am

I know that there are a great many Ranma-chan fics out there(because I think I've read them all :wink: ), and a great many where Ranma-kun is sorta' okay with the change.
But I was rereading a portion of Michael Fetter's "The Juuban Incident" and his comment at the first chapter intrigued me, about Ranma being a feminist. In his fic, it's true, Ranma-chan is quite a feminist, For the Cause... and whatnot.

But see, then it occurred to me that naturally, if Ranma wasn't plagued by so many gender identity issues, would most likely, yes be a raging feminist. Simply because he as a she would be a living witness to how gender roles and rights are different for the "Fairer half", and as the anime shows us finds a great many traditionally female oriented things demeaning.

Now with all this supposition, logic would pose to us, that it would only take a small action to reorient onna-Ranma's world view into one of radical feminism...
The idea of Ranma at a bra-burning rally amuses me greatly.

Well... now that I've rambled enough, I pose a question if any one here knows of such a fic where onna-Ranma // otoko-Ranma are involved with a sort of Japanese feminist movement?

I know, it's a longshot that even the fic-search Maestro PCHeinz72 will have a trouble with.

So... ?

Welll... I can say I've never bothered tracking it... but...

Akane *beleves* Ranma's female form is a feminist in:
R-DNKM 'Ranma Saotome The Atomic Kid' by Carrotglace - [Status=Not Complete] - [Last Dld=01/26/2004] - [Size=256kb]
Asked to be a male feminist in:
R-NUKU 'PROJECT NK-RANMA' by Celeste Byrd - [Status=Not Complete] - [Last Dld=10/26/2000] - [Size=188kb]
I suppose, the following might count:
RANMA 'Bits of China' by Ozzallos-TeflonBooger - [Status=Not Complete] - [Last Dld=09/12/2005] - [Size=102kb]
And might be considered such but not really explored in:
RANMA 'Fear' by deathgeonous - [Status=Not Complete] - [Last Dld=07/20/2006] - [Size=37kb]

Finally... these was an incident in a story I read once, I *think* it was Girl Days... accused the principal of molesting her, but it was a misunderstanding, yet due to it getting out of hand, there was public uprising, and the principal decided to flee back to Hawaii.

EDIT: Finally got this post to go through... forum kept crashing on me.

Not really what you were looking for but the closest I can think of is this one: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2320986/1/D ... Soul_Mates where he/she actually discusses the equality of women briefly...Though its not really that explored in depth.

I think it starts to head in that direction in Girl Days.


Genma's Daughter might count too, but of course Ranma IS a girl in that one, after the fact.

Actually that sounds more like newRanma by C. Jones (formerly of Furinkan.net) to me, which I think is still up on the author's FF.N page.

The worst that the Principal Kuno has gotten up to in Girl Days is announcing a free dress day and it wasn't really his fault that Happosai intervened.

I stand corrected then. Been years since I've read either.

In Girl Days, Ranma leads a band of girls against Happosai, IIRC.
